I sobbed like a little girl. When the ending music started I just bursted into tears. Finally. FINALLY!

Spoiler for Episode 24 ramble:

My favorite part was seeing Takano cry. I know it sounds harsh... but it is hard to feel sorry for her! For 100 years Rika had to see her friends die over and over and over! In the end having her guts ripped out!

Spoiler for Episode 24 Question:

I have a question though. Why did Tomitake support her?! I know he doesn't remember, but still!

Basically there are 3 scenes. The first one shows Miyoko bumping into Big Rika and then she runs back into the house. In the second scene, during the midday we see Miyoko and her parents get on to the bus, which crashes because the driver has a heart attack. Lastly, we cut to the third scene, which occurs at night and we see Miyoko putting the French flag into a box.

So what exactly happened? Did Rika basically "send" Miyoko to die with her parents OR did she actually avert Miyoko's parents' deaths and save Miyoko's whole family?

Spoiler:

Basically in that world, Takano ended up going with her parents to the department store despite the warning she could get killed by the accident. I guess since they were all together this time they all survived.

Does anyone find Hanyuu cunningly similar to Lucy & friends in Elfen Lied...

Spoiler:

Right from her horns to the apparent ability to deflect bullets? On top of that the Elfen manga also mentions how the diclonii found their own village in ancient Japan, ruled by terror and regarded as "oni" by the other people (Hinamizawa?)

Not that I am complaining anyway as Hanyuu is godly. I don't want to have wicked Rika-baba sending me to a traffic accident.

Given that Miyoko and her family survived the accident... I guess this is what it means to stick together always and live through anything; this kinda' reiterates the theme of forming strong bonds with each other and you can survive all difficulties like the main characters did in this arc.

I guess Studio DEEN's really improved, huh? Oh! For those who are talking about the 3rd season, I get the feeling that will tell us what really happens and who's responsible for the FIRST Hinamizawa murder that started it all.

I really doubt there will be a third season. If anything, there will more likely be OAVs that elaborate on the fine details.

If there is a third season, I'd be very surprised. The only reason why there may be a third season is if they decide to milk the franchise to death, which will make me a sad panda.

Edit: Then again, there are many arcs remaining, so they can make something of it...

Spoiler for other arcs:

We still have Natsumi... maybe they will do her story? I dunno... I just don't like the idea of a 3rd season to be honest. I'm a bit apprehensive, but I certainly feel if they're up to it, the 3rd season will turn out great.

The art quality actually went up...I was afraid that it would've went down like the 1st season. Generally it's pretty well done, considering what they have been taking out, some of the stuff wouldn't make sense if they put it in anyway.

Too bad the following were cut:
-Mion vs Okonogi.
-Hinamiza.warudo...well considering what has happened to the scene in Minagoroshi-hen, it not that suprising, I guess.
-Yukie vs Akasaka

About part C...it feels like it's hinting that season 3 will start with Saikoroshi-hen, since it had Miyoko with all the flags. Fredricka showing up is definitely weird in a sense that they never mentioned about her at all in the anime series, and considering what Saikoroshi-hen is like, it would've made more sense if Hanyuu was there instead.
